All of my birds are rescues. My first is Rosie a greenwing maccaw 18yrs old and she can not fly because of 10 yrs in a cage to small. My next is Pepper another F greenwing she is now 11 and I had her 6months before she made a sound. My triton cockatoo is also 11, he came with Pepper and his name is Baby. when I got him he was a holy terror destroyed everything he could find. They were so neglected and mistreated by the teenagers of the guy who had them I really had to be careful with them before I could do anything with them.Now I just last week rescued a senegal parrot and he is alot like baby was when he first came. I don't understand the thought process of those who spend their money on something that they have no idea as to what they are getting and what it takes to care for something like a bird. I am glad that I have them and would take nothing for them but I wish they would have never been. the things people profess to love and then to treat so horrible is beyond my comprehension.
